Palace were leading 2-0 against the Red Devils but ended up losing the game due to a last-gasp goal from Matic.

Eagles boss Roy Hodgson is facing an injury crisis heading into the clash with Joel Ward, Scott Dann, Yohan Cabaye, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Jason Puncheon, Bakary Sako, Connor Wickham and Julian Speroni all still sidelined.

Hodgson did receive some good news on the injury front as he will hand late fitness tests to Wilfried Zaha and Mamadou Sakho who are nearing a return after recovering from respective knee and calf problems.
